Hey everyone, I could really use some help because I’ve tried literally everything and nothing has fixed the issue. Here’s the situation: only Battlefield 6 is giving me a really strange problem. Du...

Hello,
I’m writing to update that the issue has been resolved.
I was experiencing random black screen freezes during Battlefield 6 and, occasionally, in older versions of Cinema 4D using Redshift. The system did not shut down or display a BSOD; only the video signal was lost.
After extensive testing, the issue was resolved by adjusting CPU power behavior in the BIOS:
Disabling Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO)
Disabling Precision Boost / XFR enhancements
Limiting CPU boost behavior to reduce sustained power peaks
With these changes applied, the system became fully stable, and I was able to play for extended sessions without any black screen occurrences.
The GPU works normally in other systems, and drivers/BIOS were up to date during all tests.

I was getting this, I believe what fixes it was my secure keys weren’t saving or was a power issue. I have a Aorus z490 Ultra, 10700k and 3080ti Xtreme. Go into bios and restore factory keys, save then restart. Try the game. Make sure the setting to revert to startup after boot is disabled.

if this fixes it you know it’s got to do with the secure boot keys not saving properly.
I got the error again the next day and re did it and I was able to play again. I ended up doing a BIOS flash but first reset to default and make sure you disable secure boot then flash bios to latest.

Also check your GPU power connections are all plugged in properly and didn’t become loose. I did notice one of my 2 Pin on my 3 8 pin connectors was loose as it doesn’t lock in and my cables are stiff and bent in a way not to block the LCD display. .

it’s been crash free for a month now ad won’t crash no matter what settings in game I use and I am even running full OC to the max. My CPU is running in advanced and I forced XMP but reduced clocks. If I try and enable XMP it will boot loop with SC error but if I hold down the power button and force a proper power reset it post, like the power reset when you clear cmos. It would post but eventually blue screen but then I just kept lowering the XMP till it could boot.

For me I no longer have to use 2100mhz, before the BIOS security updates I could run 3200 XMP with no issues. Now I can run XMP of 2700mhz with xMP and memory integrity on. 2800Mhz blue screen almost instantly after it starts to boot into windows but fortunately for me 2700mhz never crashes the game or PC even with my CPU running at 5 GHz in advanced CPU upgrade mode and with my older PC specs memory was my bottleneck holding back my CPU a bit.
